Great kayaking
Simon was a great guide. Kayaking and finding jellyfish and sea urchins was so cool. I really enjoyed it!

A great morning!
Iris and Simon were simply outstanding! We were fortunate to have perfect weather and flat water, but the knowledge they shared and their friendliness and hospitality made the trip so worthwhil.

Simon is 10/10
Simon promptly picked us up. He was kind, outgoing, and humorous. We had the best time kayaking and learning more about Bergen. He seriously was the best guide we have ever had. 100% would recommend doing this! It was a great and fun way to explore.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Guided Kayak Tour Bergen: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bergen.
How much does Guided Kayak Tour Bergen cost?
+
Prices start at $1190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bergen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Kayak Tour Bergen take?
+
Plan for about 4.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bergen is not rushed.
Is Guided Kayak Tour Bergen worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 145 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bergen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Kayak Tour Bergen?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Guided Kayak Tour Bergen suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 8. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4.3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Guided Kayak Tour Bergen?
+
Around 51 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bergen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bergen and add a light layer if any part of the 4.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Kayak Tour Bergen start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bergen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Bergen?
+
On Outty we rank every Bergen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Walking Tour in Bergen of the Past and Present, Guided Tour To Nærøyfjorden, Flåm & Stegastein - incl. 2h cruise, Discover Bergen on Foot and Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Bergen?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Bergen?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
